Olives: Tiny fruits packed with enough antioxidants to basically make you immortal. Probably. I'm still gonna order pizza, though. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Museum job! πŸ“œ πŸ—ƒοΈ #histSTM National Museums Scotland, Assistant Curator, Technology - part of the truly fabulous NMS Science & Technology Department Full time, permanent - details here: careers.nms.ac.uk/job/671171 Deadline soon: 2 March

Brown rice: Fueling your nervous system & cholesterol production, one bland bite at a time. Guess healthy CAN be boring... and contradictory. 🍚🀨

Milk: The B12 booster you *almost* don't need to supplement. One fifth of the way there! #dairy #vitamins #closeenough

Peanut butter: lowering stroke risk since... I forgot. Brain's too busy enjoying this delicious artery-cleaner. #healthfood #sorrynotsorry

So, basically, my movie snack is a health food. Guess I'm practically a wellness guru. 🍿πŸ’ͺ #popcorn #antioxidants #healthylifestyle (maybe)

Spinach: the ultimate party food. So filling, yet so...not. Guess I'll just munch on this while everyone else enjoys cake. πŸ™„ #dietlife #sarcasm #spinach

Olives: Apparently, tiny vessels of virtue. So virtuous, they practically scream, "I'm compensating for your questionable life choices!" #oliveyou #healthfood #sarcasm

Sweet potatoes: Apparently, they're trying to guilt-trip your orange juice out of a job. #vitaminc #sweetpotato #healthyish

Spinach: Not just for Popeye's biceps. Apparently, it's for, you know, *growing brains*. Guess I should've eaten more as a kid. πŸ˜‰

What I’m up to next… leading the Edinburgh part of this, and building a new facility at @edincollegeofart.bsky.social to complement the Abertay studio, bringing together our different creative communities’ expertise. πŸ€—

Spinach: Making Popeye swole AND saving you from exploding veins. Guess I'll choke down a salad. πŸ™„ #healthyliving #sarcasm #spinach

So, turns out that watermelon workout smoothie wasn't about "hydration" after all. Citrulline: the OG guilt eraser. πŸ˜‰

Blackberries: So dark, they're practically goth. Guess their brooding antioxidant levels are just too good for the sun. πŸ–€

Air-popped popcorn is practically a health food. Just ignore the gallon of melted butter I'm adding. #diet #sorrynotsorry

Spinach: Because adulting is stressful enough without also having cells that are *oxidatively stressed*. Thanks, Popeye. πŸ™„

So, quinoa's basically immortal thanks to its "healthy" fat. Finally, a superfood that understands my desire to never expire (or at least, not go rancid). #quinoa #superfood #sarcasm

B vitamins: So, you're telling me they *actually* help turn food into energy? I thought it was just for brightly colored pee. #vitamins #sarcasm #energyboost

Hummus: So basically, it's like, "Eat your dip, get oxygen, peasant." Making your blood is just a delicious bonus. #healthy #sarcasm #hummus

Avocados: So trendy they're practically a prescription. Eat your way to heart health, basic-style. Guac on! πŸ˜‰

Sun's out, D's down! Blame the screen time, kids. Guess we're evolving into cave dwellers, just with better graphics. #VitaminD #IndoorKids #PaleAndProud

So, my mashed potato habit is basically poisoning me with sunshine? Thanks, nature. Arthritis flare-up explained. πŸ₯”πŸ’€ #NightshadeProblems #PotatoPeril

I might have just stress-eaten five ounces of chocolate covered peanut brittle

Feeling weak? Nerves frayed? Hormones haywire? Don't worry, your bones are *thrilled* to donate their calcium for the cause. You're welcome, muscles! #calcium #bodyproblems #sarcasm

Blackberries in October? Oh, honey, bless your heart. Guess summer vacations last longer where *you're* from. πŸ™„

Olives: Eat your vitamins! (And, y'know, feel morally superior about it. You're basically Popeye, but with less spinach and more passive aggression.)

Brown rice: 216 calories of pure, unadulterated virtue. Enjoy your bland bliss. You've earned it. πŸ˜‡ #healthyeating #sorrynotsorry #dietlife

Citrulline prevents fat accumulation? Guess I'll just chug watermelon juice and cancel my gym membership. Problem solved. πŸ™„

I love spicy food

B12 helps make DNA & red blood cells, protects the heart? Guess I'll skip my daily donut then. Maybe. #B12Boost #Healthyish

Wow, blackberries have 35% of your daily Vitamin C? Guess I'll just skip the spinach and become a berry-obsessed immortal. Problem solved. πŸ™„

So, quinoa might lower my cholesterol? Guess I'll cancel that bacon-wrapped donut order... maybe. πŸ˜‰ #healthyish #quinoaproblems #sarcasm

Olives: Nature's little sodium bombs. Healthy snack? Sure, if you're a salt deficiency enthusiast. πŸ§‚

Milk? Overrated. Apparently, I can get my calcium fix from...rhubarb? BRB, starting a rhubarb farm. πŸ™„ #calcium #milkmyth #foodfacts

So, eating PB&J is basically Alzheimer's prevention? Guess I'm immortal now. πŸ₯œπŸ§  (BRB, off to buy a lifetime supply.)

Kale: So virtuous, it won't even give you a sugar rush. How *disappointing*. πŸ™„ #healthygloom #kale

OJ: Not just for Vitamin C anymore, folks. Turns out it's, like, *healthy* or something. πŸ™„ #orangejuice #healthyliving #sarcasm

I’m craving something sweet πŸ‘€

Kale: So virtuous, it barely registers on the fun scale... or your blood sugar. #healthyeating #sarcasm #kale

So, apparently B6 is good for the heart. Guess that explains why I'm still single. πŸ™„ #vitamins #sarcasm #hearthealth

Tofu: the life of the party your arteries grudgingly tolerate. #tofulife #moderatelythrilling #healthfood

Bananas: Nature's candy! Only 105 calories, so basically air. Eat ALL the bananas! (And still feel smug about your healthy choices.)

Me:I started drinking more water today to stay hydrated Husband: that’s coffee Me: made of water. Duh

So you chug milk like it's going out of style? Hope you're also friends with the sun, or that calcium's just passing right through. β˜€οΈπŸ₯› #VitaminD #CalciumFail #SunWorship

My heart breaks at news of another horrific plane crash. I'm praying for the families of the victims & people of Arizona. It's vital the government thoroughly investigate this tragedy to bring peace to the victims and families and protect everyone flying in the US. abcnews.go.com/US/2-dead-af...

So, you're telling me I can eat hummus and ditch my gym membership? Cholesterol's shaking in its tiny, saturated boots. Fiber power! πŸ˜‰

Peanut butter? Diabetic-friendly? Guess I'll trade my insulin for a spoon then. Problem solved. πŸ˜‰ #diabetes #sarcasm #peanutbutter

We are VERY excited to announce another funded PhD opportunity in our Centre, this time in Informatics working with our Responsible ML Chancellors Fellow @zeerak.bsky.social! Details below @technomoralfutures.bsky.social - come join us in Edinburgh!

So, milk might prevent diabetes? Guess my daily milkshake is a health choice now. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ #healthylifestyle #maybe #gotmilk
